Journal ArticleDOI

Ancient protostome origin of chemosensory ionotropic glutamate receptors and the evolution of insect taste and olfaction

TL;DR: It is shown that IRs are expressed in olfactory organs across Protostomia—a major branch of the animal kingdom that encompasses arthropods, nematodes, and molluscs—indicating that they represent an ancestral protostome chemosensory receptor family.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic insights into the Ixodes scapularis tick vector of Lyme disease

Monika Gulia-Nuss, +124 more
TL;DR: Insights from genome analyses into parasitic processes unique to ticks, including host ‘questing', prolonged feeding, cuticle synthesis, blood meal concentration, novel methods of haemoglobin digestion, haem detoxification, vitellogenesis and prolonged off-host survival are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ionotropic receptors (IRs): chemosensory ionotropic glutamate receptors in Drosophila and beyond.

TL;DR: The expression and function of IRs in Drosophila are reviewed, highlighting similarities and differences with iGluRs, and an evolutionarily conserved role for these receptors in chemosensation in insects and other protostomes is implied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Draft genome of the globally widespread and invasive Argentine ant (Linepithema humile).

TL;DR: The draft genome sequence of a particularly widespread and well-studied species, the invasive Argentine ant, is reported, which was accomplished using a combination of 454 and Illumina sequencing and community-based funding rather than federal grant support.
Journal ArticleDOI

Draft genome of the red harvester ant Pogonomyrmex barbatus

TL;DR: Gene networks involved in generating key differences between the queen and worker castes show signatures of increased methylation and suggest that ants and bees may have independently co-opted the same gene regulatory mechanisms for reproductive division of labor.
